Work Detail The Peel District School Board held a groundbreaking ceremony marking the start of construction for the replacement of Caledon East Public School, in the growing Caledon East community. The new, modern facility will address the needs of a rapidly expanding residential area. Originally built in 1971 and expanded in 1998 to serve 254 students, the existing Caledon East Public School can no longer accommodate the area’s growing population. In response to this growth, the Ministry of Education awarded $32.4 million in Capital Priorities funding to Peel District School Board for the construction of this new school that has been designed to accommodate up to 650 students. “We are deeply grateful to the Ministry of Education for their commitment to investing in the future of the Caledon East community. Education is the cornerstone of progress, and this new school will be an environment where students, teachers, support staff and community will be inspired every day,” said Dr. David Green, Chair, Peel District School Board. The new school will include state-of-the-art features to enhance learning and expanded services for the community. Highlights include: Childcare Centre: A four-room facility offering licensed childcare spaces for 73 children (1 infant room, 1 toddler room, and 2 preschool rooms). Kindergarten Rooms:Six dedicated rooms to support early learners. “This new school represents a tremendous investment in our community’s future and marks a pivotal moment for Caledon East. It’s not just about classrooms; it’s about creating a space where families can connect, children can thrive, and the entire community can feel supported. The new building not only addresses the needs of our growing community but also sets the standard for modern, sustainable educational spaces—a win for students, families, and staff alike,” said Stan Cameron, Trustee Caledon, Peel District School Board. The new school represents a significant commitment to serving the educational and childcare needs of the Caledon East community. The facility will be constructed by Quad Pro Construction Inc. based on designs by MG Architects Inc. Construction is scheduled to begin in December 2024, with completion by June 2026. The existing school building will be demolished in July and August 2026, and the new facility will open its doors to students and staff in September 2026, just in time for the 2026-27 school year. “With modern learning spaces and a dedicated childcare centre, the new Caledon East Public School will be a first-rate learning environment that will inspire both students and families. As we break ground today, we are laying the foundation to nurture future generations in the Caledon East community,” said Rashmi Swarup, Director of Education, Peel District School Board. The groundbreaking ceremony highlights the Peel District School Board’s commitment to addressing the evolving needs of its communities. By addressing growth, enhancing resources, and expanding access to licensed childcare spaces, the new Caledon East Public School will serve as a cornerstone of education and support for new and existing families in the area. “As a parent, I know families in growing areas of Ontario need to have access to modern schools close to home in their local community and that’s why building more schools is a key part of our Building Ontario plan. Our government is proud to deliver the largest one-year investment in new schools in Ontario history and I’m excited to work with all our partners in education to support these vital infrastructure projects,” said Jill Dunlop, Minister of Education.
